Price Range (again)

[Chris 96 WS6]

Now that we've seen a sneak peak at the chassis, I'd like serious input on the pricing of this car.

Do we still think that chassis can be mass produced for a base version in the low $20,000 Range?

I am hopeful but doubtful. What's a V6 mustang base at now?

[Jason E]

$19,995...which is why the '08-'09 V6 base model BETTER come in at $22k.

I'm budgeting 27-29k for a "stripper" SS/Z28/whatever its called. All I need it power windows/locks and ABS and I'll be happy. No stability control, no traction control, no auto climate, or heated seats. Just a big engine, comfy seats, and wide tires.

i'm with you on this.....Z/28 ( ) with just the basics: pl, pw, cloth interior, 6spd, LS7 (fingers crossed), XM, and 19in front 20in rear rims. but i'm th8inking more in the low to mid $30k range.

[kick Z tail out]

Yeah, I'm expecting to see $32000 to $34000 for the typical optioned cars that will end up on lots. Of course hopefully not, but probably.

I don't like you very much!

I still expect Camaro pricing to follow Mustang pricing +/- $1000 in MSRP.

This is the way it should break down, IMO.

Base model - $21,995
Add 5.3 V8 = $1,000
Price range = $21,995 - $27,000 (leather, XM, t-tops, nav etc.)


SS - $25,995 with 5.3
Add LS2 = $1,500
Price range = $25,995 - $30,995 (leather, nav, LS2, chrome wheels etc.)

Z28 = $31,995
All speed goodies standard
Top price = $35,995

Basically, each level should allow for a decent $4k worth of options...but there is no reason why a base 5.3 or SS coupe can't sticker at or near a Mustang GT. If it doesn't, its sales suicide.

I agree!

LS7? Is anyone else thinking that the LS7 will make it into the Camaro? No way man.

#1 this motor right now is a hand built motor in a $70k flagship car....you want it in your Camaro for 30? Not gonna happen. Chevy might put it in a camaro and give it to a few mags for fun, but a mass produced LS7 camaro wont happen, OR wont happen under $45k. Feel free to disagree, but Im very VERY happy about the possibility of getting an LS2 at ~400hp (lets see if GM bumps the base Vette to 420-425hp to make room).

#2 Arent they already working on a supercharged 6.2L to go in the vette next. What Im saying is, the LS7 will have to live for 4 more years to even have a chance to see a Camaro. By the time we are able to buy a Camaro, the LS7 will be out of production.


I dont have any dillusions of 700hp Camaros like some people on this board, and I dont think that the Camaro MUST eat the GT500, cause I dont think it will. But, I AM excited about the fastest production Camaro in MY lifetime at ~400hp in just a few years.

Looks good to me.

I agree that the LS7 isn't gonna happen, it's a $16,000 engine.
That would add ~$11,000 to the price over a LS2 powered Camaro.
eek.

[streetheatz28]

Wouldent the SS cost more than the z28 I would estimate the price for the base camaro w/ improved 3.8L v6 (245 hp)
to be around 23-24k, the z28 with the ls6 to be around 28-29k and the ss to be around 30-32k. There will be no ls7 in the new camaro but of course there will be special editions. And I PRAY they change the tails. . just my 2 cents

[97SLPcamaroSS]

I think the LS7 will happen its still a good few years away by then the C6 Zo6 will be supercharged and the LS2 will be long gone possible LS3 dont forget that the New SUV if you sport for the Esclade or the Denali will be gitting the 6.3L motor so do the math new motors with D.O.D. why would thy stick some old 6.0 in an all redone car. you cant, new motor, new car, do you think they are not going to use something just sitting around in the factory. Just like the GTO first year had the old 5.7 people complaned that there was no hood schops and does not have dual exuast then next year all that all changed allong with new motor the 6.0 is past its prime. So the SS will maybe get the Ls7 or something really close to it and if it does it will proubley be like 5-7K less than a base Vett and i would pay 50k for a SS but that how i feel i dont want the same thing as what everbody esle can go down to the lot and see 20 of them and out of that 20 maybe see one SS if they can keep them on there lots.

and one more thing today i see more C6 Zo6's than i do standard C6 corvetts. and they were in the 80k after markups. Spend it while you got it you dont need money while your dead!
